Tool Of The Week - Gerard Henderson


The increasingly erratic Gerard Henderson took time out from being paddled by his chums down at the Sydney Institute this week to fulminate against people being paid a living wage.

This will not do, thundered Henderson, who continues to believe that only good looking chaps from decent schools should be allowed to speak in public.

Henderson was railing against the Harvester Judgement, the one piece of social policy that stopped Australia from becoming another Argentina.

This deranged sociopath was foaming at the mouth in the Sydney Morning Herald this week because someone dared celebrate the foresight in a bloke called Higgins deciding a hundred years ago that people were born to live, not just to make rich men richer.

Not that we’d expect Henderson to grasp this, the bastard has never done a day’s work in his life. Preferring to fellate any nutjob roaming the land with a baseball bat looking for working people of an independent bent to belt.

He sucked up to Howard as if that grubby little rodent was capable of doing anything more than fixing his own breakfast.

He cheered for WorkChoices so that bottom feeders could pay teenagers $3 an hour legally under Howard’s laws.

He doesn’t like Harvester because he believes that Government’s should pick up the tab if people aren’t being paid enough to live. Yet this is the same pea brained onanist who believes in that miserable piece of government-sanctioned thuggery, welfare to work, which is doing exactly the opposite.

It is also curious that this dalek-like acolyte of the market sees the state as picking up the bill that his tight a#se huddle of degenerate losers down at the club aren’t prepared to pay. He is obviously a frustrated socialist.

This creep likes to paint himself as an academic, but in reality he has all the intellect and social utility of a broken sewer main, but is not nearly as pleasant. He is an intellectual coward - the sort of insecure martinet that likes to think he can bully people into believing his rather bizarre worldview.

This soaring Tool Of The Week, like his toilet trading pal Tony Abbott, believes it is better if you and I get treated like a shovel than be treated with dignity. He believes it is better that we get paid three-fifths of naff all rather than the poor employer be forced to pull their son out of Riverview.

Henderson is one of those useless loops that think employers should only have to pay what they can afford to pay. Let’s take this logic to its conclusion. I, as a consumer, have only $58 for groceries this week. So how about I load up my trolley with over $200 worth of goodies and when I get to the checkout say, “Well, I only have the capacity to pay $58 so, taking the advice of Gerard Henderson, I am only going to pay that”.

Quite rightly I’d be marched out of the store by a security guard, as Hendo should be marched out of Australia's consciousness.

Jerks like Henderson need to wake up to the fact that we live in a society made up of people, not businesses, and that if democracy is to mean anything it needs to serve the interests of human beings first and that narrow section of society called the business community second.

And he needs to stop it, or he will go blind.

How To Build An Imbecile

Miranda Devine, who gets on in life because her dad was drunken incompetent newspaper hack Frank Devine, really shows just how much the Australian neo-conservatives are lost at sea following Howard's loss last Saturday. Her column in today's Sydney Morning Herald is part attempt to rewrite history, part attempt to airbrush the failings of the Liberal party and mostly just the sort of inane dribble that can only occur if one spends large amount of time with one's head squeezed inside John Howard's fundament. The idea that Howard's vicious pandering to narrow minded racism is some kind of an 'achievement' is one of the more bizarre reads of recent history. Well, Miranda lost, and she can join the queue marked Irrelevant Jibberers right behind Gerard Henderson.
